So as much as I wish that i could be at home celebrating new years with my family, I need to remember that I am in Africa serving God and that's the best place to be right? It's all in my attitude and I choose to have a good attitude tonight! This morning I was doing my devotions and God lead me to the book of Malachi. The first chapter is all about God and his anger and hurt towards his people because they were not giving their all. They were offering him sacrifices that were defiled instead of the best animal that they had. God really spoke to me through this story and I had to do an attitude check of my own. Have I really been giving God my all? This trip has been so trying and has broken me down so much and sometimes I have failed with giving God my best. Everyday I must wake up and choose to serve Christ through a good attitude. I'm not going to lie and say this is easy, it's not, and I have failed many times. I thank God everyday for his faithfulness and grace on me. He has so much patience with me and my stubornness. I need his grace so bad and he is showing me more and more of my imperfections that need work. I'm so thankful for the quiet time that I have with my savior and the lessons that he is teaching me these past few weeks. Tonight is New Years Eve and I am spending it with my savior. I'll be honest, a few days ago I really struggled with having a bad attitude tonight. I wanted to have a pity party because I knew that I would be spending New Years Eve "alone", but then I was reminded again that I am not alone. I'm starting a New Year in the presence of my Heavenly Father, which I'm learning is the best place to be! Praise Jesus!
As for an update of my day. I got to see another baby born today bringing the total to 14!! God is good! I hope everyone has a great New Years Eve!!
